"Donât worry, Housekeeper Xing, I will definitely do my best."
"Hmm!"
"By the way, Sheng Ning, the baby is almost one month old. Mister has prepared a grand full moon banquet for the baby at the estate. Remember to attend. Housekeeper Xing anticipated she would refuse, so he blocked off her escape route, âThe invitations have already been sent out. Weâve invited half of the prominent figures from Country M. Iâll arrange for a car and people to come pick you up that day. As for clothes, shoes, and jewelry, weâll prepare them for you.â
"...Alright! Housekeeper Xing, please thank Uncle Grandpa for his kindness."
"Weâre all family, no need for thanks. Also, remember to bring the gift Mister gave you when you meet him that day. Otherwise, he might be disappointed not seeing it."
Sheng Ning hid her bare hand behind her back, "Okay, I definitely wonât make Uncle Grandpa angry." Although she didnât understand jewelry, she knew the ring was valuable at first glance, and she wouldnât dare to wear it casually!
"Mister wouldnât be angry with you." Housekeeper Xing smiled, greeted Gu Yunbo and Daives, and left with his people.
"Iâm leaving too, see you!" Daives gestured to Sheng Ning before leaving.
Gu Yunbo watched his back and couldnât help but shiver. "What does he mean by that?"
"Iâm planning to help him get Victoria Theater up and running." Sheng Ning moved a small stool to sit in front of the cradle, watching her two sleeping babies.
Perhaps understanding their momâs hard work, the little brother and sister are extremely well-behaved. Every day, they eat and sleep, and their sleeping faces are heart-meltingly adorable.
The babies change every day, from being wrinkly at birth to being so rosy now youâd want to take a bite. Most importantly, theyâre very well-behaved, only making a fuss when hungry or needing a diaper change.
"Get it up and running? Are you confident?" Gu Yunbo remembered Sheng Ning mentioned she was part of the General Union Dance Troupe before, "Are you sure that what you learned at the General Union Dance Troupe will work here in America?" Sheâs not doubting women, but those performances celebrating the unity of workers and civilians wonât sell on Broadway.
Each country has its own cultural context. Even if Country M is highly inclusive, they canât accept praises of red sorghum.
Sheng Ning flashed a confident smile, "Donât worry! I can definitely do it."
"Then Iâll be watching closely. If the project fails, Daives might come after you."
"By the way! Daives mentioned someone powerful behind him today, is that true?"
Gu Yunboâs expression paused, revealing a meaningful smile, and he said lightly, "I donât know either. There have always been rumors, but nobodyâs sure. I didnât expect heâd even tell you this; whoâs behind him?"
Sheng Ning thought for a moment, "Westminster, he said heâs for the British nobility."
"Whoa!" Gu Yunbo stood up excitedly, "Thatâs not just powerful! Their industry spans across Europe and America, including the Victoria Hospital where you gave birth, which is said to be under Westminster."
"Oh!" Sheng Ning didnât take it to heart; she only mentioned it casually earlier. She refocused on the babies, leaning down to kiss the baby brotherâs cheek.
"Sweet baby, Mommy loves you!"
Right after she kissed him, the baby brother blinked as if waking up, and Sheng Ning quickly intervened, "Donât wake up, or Mommy wonât love you anymore."
